Chapter 1499 1359 The Battle That Lingered for

Chapter 1499: Chapter 1359: The Battle That Lingered for Centuries Chapter 1499: Chapter 1359: The Battle That Lingered for Centuries Spellcasting commenced, the fierce wind arose, the heaven and earth turned murky!

Xin Xin’s garments fluttered violently, his body encircled by a staggering hurricane that swiftly morphed into a majestic figure composed entirely of wind!!

This was a Wind Flood Dragon, its willpower manifesting as the hurricane stretching between Floating Mountains, its very form!

The ferocious wind clashed with raging flames, the Flood Dragon and fiery creature locked in battle. Without “Beast type” lineage, they demonstrated astonishing close-combat abilities.

Their elemental control over wind and flame soared above that of all creatures, magnificent yet filled with destruction!

Seeing such a level of battle at the Outstanding Competition was incredibly rare, and in certain eras, even the strongest contender in Struggle Land hadn’t crossed the threshold into the “immortal level”.

The prodigy Lin Li, amongst the strong ones like clouds, witnessing the duel between two “Immortal Soul Pets” in the Outstanding Competition, a spectacle enough to humble anyone on the path of cultivation.

The battle surged, one wave higher than the last, leaving spectators in stunned awe.

In the end, the greatly famous Wind Child Xin Xin still surpassed Lu Panxue from Divine Sect in manipulating the battle, securing victory in this match.

Long after the battle ended, as people watched the untamed winds and the lingering flames on the Floating Battlefield, they remained in thrill with unfading reminiscence.

The victor, dressed in white, Wind Child Xin Xin became the focus of the entire audience, and after this battle, his name would surely spread across the entire Struggle Land once more.

The fight concluded with an agreement to stop, harboring no unpleasantness. Lu Panxue descended from the battlefield, her complexion somewhat pale.

Lu Panxue had harbored hopes of defeating Xin Xin, but only after truly engaging in battle did she recognize the gap in strength between them; even at the same level, she found surpassing him challenging.

Lu Panxue returned to the Main Floating Mountain, taking a seat beside Lu Yuqin.

Lu Yuqin whispered a comforting word, “It’s just a loss, no big deal.”

Lu Panxue nodded and didn’t dwell on it much, as she had expected the loss herself.

She glanced over at Ye Qingzi and asked, “I heard she made a breakthrough, becoming an ‘Immortal Master’ of our Divine Sect?”

“She doesn’t represent our Divine Sect,” Lu Yuqin stated indifferently after a glance at Qingzi.

“If not our Divine Sect, then which side does she represent? Could there be any land more worthy of her loyalty than Divine Sect?” Lu Panxue inquired, perplexed.

“She comes from New Moon Land, naturally representing New Moon Land just like Mu Qingyi,” said Lu Yuqin.

“New Moon Land? What is that, a private territory? In this Outstanding Competition, the only notable private territory contender is Gu Ying from Sand City. The others are barely significant,” expressed Lu Panxue.

To Lu Panxue’s perspective, the strength of a force was judged by the ranking they achieved in the Outstanding Competition.

The representative from New Moon Land appeared to be only Mu Qingyi, who performed fairly well, but that was it; such a small private territory didn’t deserve the loyalty of an “Immortal Master.”

“Their strongest individual from New Moon Land didn’t participate in the competition,” Lu Yuqin said, pointing towards the place where Gao He stood.

Lu Panxue’s gaze followed, coming upon the figure of Chu Mu, as she ventured, “Is that man very strong? What’s his name?”

“His name is Chu Mu, the ruler of New Moon Land. Judging by the current development pace of New Moon Land, as their ruler, his strength must be formidable. As to why he isn’t competing, I’m not sure,” Lu Yuqin replied.

Having met Chu Mu once in Divine Sect, Lu Yuqin could distinctly sense the increase in his “Soul Sense”, and so she surmised that his strength was significantly above Mu Qingyi’s.

Lu Panxue curiously scrutinized Chu Mu, this being the first time she had heard of a young and able contender opting out of the competition.

“However, he should be facing Tang Zhuo in battle,” added Lu Yuqin.

“With Tang Zhuo?” Lu Panxue’s face revealed a look of surprise.

“Tang Zhuo’s master, Tang Ang, has some very old grievances with a senior, and both Tang Ang and this senior have agreed to let their new disciples resolve it. Chu Mu is the appointed disciple of that senior, so he will have a private battle with Tang Zhuo,” explained Lu Yuqin.

Lu Panxue remained silent. Tang Zhuo’s reputation even surpassed Xin Xin’s, and without surprises, he would be the winner of this Outstanding Competition.

And yet, that individual who didn’t even compete was going to face Tang Zhuo in battle; this fight would surely be highly anticipated.

“We’ve reached Han Erxing,” said Lu Yuqin nonchalantly.

Lu Panxue nodded, redirecting her focus to Han Erxing.

Han Erxing’s strength rivalled Xin Xin’s, and Lu Panxue, who often sparred with him and seldom found victory, thus knew her chances of winning against Xin Xin were slim.

Han Erxing’s opponent, the head of Monster Beast Palace, was not particularly strong.

Han Erxing even defeated his opponent without summoning his strongest “Soul Pet”, and went as far as killing one of the opposing “Soul Pets”.

Though killing was permitted in the Outstanding Competition, for Han Erxing to show no mercy while in clear superiority was somewhat abnormal.

“What’s gotten into him, isn’t he afraid of trouble from the people in Monster Beast Palace?” Lu Panxue said, furrowing her brow.

Lu Yuqin looked at Han Erxing’s somewhat irritated eyes, appearing as if deep in thought.

The battle had ended, and Han Erxing clearly intended to walk past Chu Mu, snorting coldly, “You are smart, but if you take part in the competition and happen to encounter me, you will die miserably.”

Han Erxing did not hide his hostility at all.

That day, Chu Mu’s aloof smile had greatly annoyed Han Erxing. Now, with the status, position, and power he possessed, he saw no need to show any restraint toward the weak. Contempt when due was his policy—what could anyone do to him?

“I’m not interested in children’s games like this competition,” Chu Mu replied indifferently.

“What did you say!” Han Erxing was immediately enraged, fixing an angry gaze on Chu Mu!

“Children’s games, I’m not interested in participating. Do I need to repeat myself?” Chu Mu said calmly.

Chu Mu liked to keep a low profile but that did not mean he would cower when he knew full well that the guy before him wanted to provoke his woman.

When faced with someone targeting his woman, Chu Mu had only one thought in his mind: to crush them, crush them forcefully!

“Han Erxing, return to your place,” Lu Yuqin walked between the two men, commanding coldly.

Han Erxing glanced at Lu Yuqin but did not heed her and pointed at Chu Mu instead, “He is insulting me, insulting all the contestants.”

Lu Yuqin’s gaze lingered on Chu Mu, filled with some doubt.

Chu Mu watched Han Erxing’s outraged demeanor and chuckled to himself. Why was this guy so easily provoked? Slowly, he explained, “I surely have not insulted all contestants, but insulting you is true.”

The moment he uttered these words, the gazes of Lu Yuqin, Liu Binglan, and Gao He all fell upon Chu Mu.

Based on Lu Yuqin’s understanding of Chu Mu, he was extremely unassuming and would unlikely do anything outrageous, especially in a setting filled with numerous experts.

And Liu Binglan, who knew Chu Mu even better, was puzzled as to why Chu Mu would deliberately speak like this. It was clearly a provocation. Could it be that Han Erxing had offended Chu Mu?

Meanwhile, Gao He quietly stood aside, watching the two men with interest. At first, he indeed hadn’t seen anything remarkable about Chu Mu, but in the entire Struggle Land, there were very few who dared to insult Han Erxing so boldly.

“Chief Officer Lu, you’ve heard it too,” Han Erxing started to smirk.

Han Erxing came here to cause trouble, particularly for Chu Mu, who was unexpectedly cooperative.

“Return to your place,” Lu Yuqin repeated her words.

Han Erxing didn’t want to offend Lu Yuqin and eventually returned to his seat among the contestants. As he walked away, the hostility in his eyes towards Chu Mu was not concealed in the slightest.

“Han Erxing, how did you end up in conflict with him?” Tang Zhuo and Xin Xin asked curiously.

Han Erxing was not secretive and shared the incident when he bumped into Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

“He says our competition is nothing more than child’s play, and he is utterly disdainful to partake in it,” Han Erxing didn’t need to exaggerate; Chu Mu’s words were sufficient to irritate them.

Indeed, Tang Zhuo and Xin Xin scoffed at Chu Mu’s remark. If he truly had the capability, he should come down and fight. To think he called the most authoritative event for the younger generation mere child’s play!

“Utter arrogance, do either of you have a way to drag him into the fray? I would like to see what grounds he has for making such a statement,” Xin Xin was the first to grow restless.

“Heh, there are many ways, as long as he doesn’t chicken out!” Han Erxing scoffed.

“My teacher is calling me over. You two think of a way to teach him a lesson. There’s no need for us to appear magnanimous when this puny New Moon Land dares to flaunt itself before us,” said Tang Zhuo with a smile.

After speaking, Tang Zhuo stood up and left his spot, heading toward the seats of the five Leader Level Strong Ones.

Tang Zhuo approached his mentor, Tang Ang. Tang Ang, aged with time, exuded a ruggedness amidst his age, his wrinkled and at times clouded or focused eyes making it hard to decipher his inner thoughts.

“Master,” Tang Zhuo greeted Tang Ang respectfully with a bow.

No matter how proud he was in his heart, before this elderly man, he was but a speck of dust, and Tang Zhuo never questioned his respect for Tang Ang!

“After the Outstanding Competition, you will have a more important battle,” Tang Ang said slowly.

“A more important battle?” Tang Zhuo showed a puzzled look.

Tang Ang casually pointed toward Chu Mu in the seats below and said, “This person is a disciple of an old friend and rival of mine. Have a spar with him.”

“Don’t lose, otherwise the one who has lost for the past hundred years would still be me,” Tang Ang stated indifferently before waving his hand, signaling Tang Zhuo to leave.

Tang Zhuo was stunned; the person his master was referring to was Chu Mu!

Again, this guy?

Tang Zhuo was inwardly shocked. How had this newcomer so easily caught the attention of these Strong Ones, even his own teacher seemed to take a significant interest in him.
